New iPhone Apps Cater to Hunters, Fishermen

For over 35 years, sportsmen around the world have trusted DataSport Inc’s reliable and accurate game and fish forecasts to increase their success in the woods and on the water. Now, thanks to two new iPhone applications, hunters and fishermen can receive the forecasts directly on their mobile phones.

The HuntCast and FishCast apps are simple, to-the-point applications that allow users to select a date from a calendar and view the forecast graph for that date. The graphs predict “excellent “good,” and “fair” hunting times, and also include the current moon phase. There is no need to enter location data, as the forecasts are accurate in the entire Northern Hemisphere.

Beyond hunters and fishermen, the apps are also great for photographers and birdwatchers wanting to increase their chances of catching a glimpse of birds and wildlife.

“Most people check the forecasts on a daily basis, either the night before, or the morning of their outdoor trip,” said app developer Matt Livingston. “But it’s not always easy to memorize the times on the charts. HuntCast and FishCast offer quick access allowing people to view the charts without ever having to leave the woods or the boat.”

HuntCast and Fishcast are currently available for download in the iTunes App Store. For more information and for visual screen captures of the applications, visit: www.ArkansasOutdoorsOnline.com/iphone-hunting-apps
